Could AtGames’ new Mini Megadrive actually rival the NES Mini?
Several months back, the Internet went crazy over the news that Tectoy would begin manufacturing Genesis systems once again. More annoyingly, many websites falsely led people to believe SEGA was somehow behind this new system and was taking on the Ni***ndo’s NES Classic, thus signaling the beginning of Console War II.
The Tectoy Genesis looks great and all, with it using original hardware, including built-in games and can play actual Genesis games, but the fact that it didn’t include HDMI meant that it couldn’t truly rival Ni***ndo’s mini NES.
But we’ve learned that AtGames will release a new Genesis, called the Mini Megadrive, that could actually be that contender, and it’s coming later this year. The new system is designed to look like a Model 1 Genesis and will come with 85 pre-installed games, 2.4G wireless controllers, a cartridge slot and an HDMI out that will output at 720p. It’s now available to pre-order for a $10 limited-time discount at 79.99 Euros and will begin shipping on Sept. 15.
Of course, we know that AtGames’ previous efforts in manufacturing Genesis clone systems have left a lot to be desired, especially in the sound department, so the jury is still out on whether this system is truly worth your investment.
